Zhu Xuan walked back to his tent with heavy steps and sat heavily on the chair.

The people around were silent for a moment.

They brought people back from Hecheng. Although there were not many wounded people, the entire camp was filled with a failed and even decayed atmosphere, which could be seen on everyone's face.

In two days, a small Hecheng had not yet been captured.

This is not the result they want.

Zhu Xuan gritted his teeth and a few words popped up from his teeth: "If this continues, will my king's path end in this small city of He?!"

“…”

Everyone was silent.

Everyone knows that this is something that should never happen.

Before, they had the emperor safely entered and exited Changqing City alone, and then even fled Changqing City, which was a very wrong decision and had missed the opportunity. Now, if they couldn't even take down a small crane city, it would be God who was joking with them.

Shi Yiru stepped forward and said softly: "Prince, don't be anxious."

"How can I not be anxious!"

Zhu Xuan's face rarely showed an angry expression.

Hecheng could not capture it for a long time, which was not what annoyed him the most. What annoyed him the most was that Zhu Feng did not appear on the top of the city during the two siege battles.

It was like laughing at him.

In Changqing City, he spent so many soldiers and horses, but he could not catch Zhu Feng alone.

And now, in this small city of He, Zhu Feng doesn’t even have to come forward, and he can’t capture it for a long time!

He gritted his teeth and said, "I must never stop here."

"certainly."

Shi Yiru said in a deep voice: "Prince, we have no way out."

"Then find a way to attack the city immediately and defeat the Hecheng!"

"No!"

“Why?”

Seeing his eyes turned red, Shi Yiru said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty calmly. Before His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, he had been in Peiping for more than ten years. No one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty was more familiar with and good at defending the city than him, and could not defeat him. This is common sense."

“…”

"But the prince was able to force him to this place because the prince had his strengths."

“…”

"If the prince cannot play to his strengths at this moment, then we will really have no hope of winning in this battle."

“…”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Xuan's anger gradually calmed down.

A trace of cunning flashed in his eyes again, and he looked at Shi Yiru and said, "What you said is beneficial."

“…”

"Surprising the city and territories, there are indeed not many people in the entire Great Yan Dynasty who are his opponents. This is what I admit to."

“…”

"But, he does not have the strengths of this king."

As he said that, he raised his head, looked at the hazy sky above his head, and murmured: "Hecheng, Hecheng... Hecheng is not as good as Peiping. He can hold on for so many years, so that the capital cannot capture it for a long time. Hecheng is just a small city. It is different from Peiping, not only the city walls and gates outside, but also the people in the city."

Speaking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Yiru looked at him: "Prince."

Zhu Xuan said: "Send the order and ask the people below to prepare the pen and ink and paper, the more the better."

Shi Yiru didn't ask much, just said: "Yes."

Immediately turned around and walked down.

Wen Ye walked to the door of Furongju, several steps away from the gate, and bowed his hands and shouted loudly inward: "I want to see the Imperial Concubine."

Originally, according to the taboos in the palace, foreign ministers could not seek to see the palace concubine.

But this place is a villa, and the war is tense now, so the rules are not so strict. Soon, Ran Xiaoyu walked to the door: "Sir Wen, the empress knows you are coming, and she is already waiting inside. Please follow me."

"Thank you."

Wen Ye nodded and followed him in.

As soon as I entered Furong House, I heard the crisp laughter of the two children. It was the little monk Mingxin and Princess Xinping on the bedside, and the two of them had a happy time.

And Nanyan sat upright directly above.

Wen Ye immediately stepped forward and knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine."

"Please get up, Lord Wen."

Nan Yan raised his hand and said, "Sir, I just got off the battlefield. Thank you for your hard work. Don't be too polite when I came here."

"The courtesy cannot be abolished."

"Give a seat."

"Thank you, the Imperial Concubine."

Wen Ye accused him of guilt and sat obliquely on the chair next to him. Ran Xiaoyu brought another tea, but he obviously had no interest in tasting tea and eating. He just lowered his head and said, "Empress, I am here this time, I have something to think of Empress to ask about Empress."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"To be precise, it's about inquiring about someone."

"who?"

"Jian Ruocheng."

“…!”

Nan Yan's heart couldn't help but hop.

Jian Ruocheng?

I had just asked Ye Zheng about him, but not long after, Wen Ye came to ask him about him again?

Nan Yan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Master Wen, you and him used to be an official in the court. If you say you know, you should know him better than this palace. How could you come to this palace to ask about him?"

Wen Ye said: "It's true that I am following the emperor since the Yan Palace. But not long after the emperor ascended the throne, I am transferred to Jiaodong. After I left Jinling, Jian Ruocheng entered the court to become an official, so I really don't know much about him."

"Oh." Nan Yan nodded and said, "But why did you suddenly ask him?"

"Because, the emperor asked Weichen about him."

"What?"

Nanyan's heart thumped again.

But this time, most of the trembling is trembling.

Even Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look at her.

Zhu Feng suddenly asked Jian Ruocheng?

Logically speaking, Jian Ruocheng has not appeared in Ning Wang's camp recently, and Zhu Feng would not think of him, so why would he ask him?

Could it be

Wen Ye said: "It was after a battle yesterday that Weichen returned to the other court to report the war situation to the emperor. He suddenly asked Jian Ruocheng and asked him if he had been giving advice to King Ning a few days ago."

Nanyan frowned.

Wen Ye said: "Weichen was an inspector in Changqing City. What he saw in his eyes was that he did come to the command of King Ning after being dismissed from office. However, whether he had any advice or what he did, Weichen did not know much about it."

“…”

"But I know that a few days ago, the Empress was taken to the Ning Prince's Mansion by King Ning, and she should have seen something."

“…”

"So, I want to ask the Empress."

“…”

"If he hadn't done those things, the empress would have explained it before the emperor. After all, this matter seems to be a small matter now, but in the future, it will be a serious sin."

After hearing this, Nan Yan was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Wen is a cautious person."
